ELECTION OF SENATOR'S.

In view OF tie disgraceful scenes which
have been recently enacted in two legisla-
| tive bodies in the struggle for United States
Scholarships the question Of electing
United States Senators by a vote OF the
people has again been preached. No good
reason can be given why they should
not be elected as Representatives Of the
House are. If this policy should be
adopted the opportunities for bribery
BILE for the minority to choose such an
official. In addition to this the democrat
~ization OF protracted contests in legislative
bodies, the shame OF rulfianly proceedings
and revolutionary acts by state officials
and IRRESPONSIBLE mobs would be wholly
obviated il the decision were left to the
people at the polls.
In another respect the election OF Ssna-
tors by popular vote each four years would
do away with the a~bsurdity Of q single
branch OF Congress being hostile to the
Government which the people had just
chosen. AS matters now stand, the will OF
the majority as expressed in 1884 has not
been given effect. The Senate 10 still in the
hands OF the party which was then repudi.
ated, and under tho present system it is
likely to remain so. An entire change in
the method and the time OF electing Sena-
tors is necessary to the correction OF the
abuses SO frequently complained OF, and to
the elimination from our legislative ses.
sions OF the contentious which, in two
this winter, have well-njgh made a
mockery OF popular government.

Saratoca's Streets at Evening.

In tho evening, after the drives are all
over and the ladies with cheeks flushed with
health and respondent in all their elegant
6nery appear upon the erandas and the
handsome, shady street upon which most
Of tue hotels front, that Saratoga appears in
all her glory. It is a cosmopolitan n rather
a democratic throng which sweeps to and fro
along these great thorougbfares-for the hotel
verandas are in a certain sense promenades
and thoroughfares for the summer visitors at
least. It would seem that all tho wealth Of
the Indies could not purchase the sparkling
jewels that flash upon white fingers, sparkle
in glittering sprays upon a Of jet black
hair or glisten at snowy threats in and about
some OF the hotels at these times. Saratoga
has long been associated in many peoples
minds with mad extravaganza in jewels and
dress on the part OF the ladies visiting here,
but that day bias to a certain extent gone by,
because there has been III improvement in
taste in this particular, and the beautiful
truth Of tasteful simplicity has asserted
itself. Yet there are certain of the large
hotels where the old regime still holds and the
ladies still continue to lug around fortunes on
their fingers and i'll their ears. New

MINERAL PATENTS.

The Secretary OF the Interior has ad.
dressed a letter to the Commissioner OF the
General Land Office changing the practice oil
the department in the patenting OF mineral
claims in a radical manner. It has been
the practice for many years when convey
anciug mineral lands npon which the
mineral lays in lodes to reserve from the
title all ~town-site and other rights, thus
dividing the land between the miner who
got the mineral beneath the soil and the
ordinary TOWNSHIP claimant who came in
and got the surface. Thus the mineral
claimant who came in and secured the land
after the TOWNSHIP had been located, some:
times for years, got what he wanted and
the owner Of the surface was not disturbed.
With placer mining claims this, of
course, could not be done, as the
surface soil was exactly what was
wanted. So. as in the case involving the
townsite OF Deadwood, Dakota, the claim
carried with it towrsite rights, buildings.
residences. wells and every other sort of
Improvement that had been made on the
n This has caused many bitter fights
between the two sets OF entrymen that we're
many times carried from the Interior De-
partment to the courts, and one Of them,
the well known contest OF Diffebock vs..
Honk, was taken to the court oil last re.
sort. The Supreme Court decided in this
case a short tine since that the fee to land
was not .divisable between claimants and
that it must go in surface and depth to
either mining or town site claimant. This
decision, although made on a placer mining
case, was applied to all classes OF mining
claims. and the secretary to-day instructed
the General Land Commissioner to confirm
this ruling. This in lode, as we'll as placer
mining. will turn over ell betterments upon
the land to the mining claimant upon a
claim as against the town site claimant.

Councilman Thompson's bill relating to

like a eilded shore to a very dangerous sea.

clause in the present corporation act re-

Experience With European Sleepers.
After remaining in Paris q couple Of DAYS,

After remaining in Paris 4 couple OF days
we started for Marseilles, sixteen hours dis.
tant. We embarked on = sleeping car. so
called. and found it to lie a wretched imita,
ton Ct the Pullman, with scarcely any of its
comforts. We paid 165 francs for terths for
myself, wife, and son. equal to SIS. The
same accommodation in America. Oh a Wag.
ner, Pullman Or Mann boudoir car for the
same distance costs only $3.50. In the Ameri.
can sleeper ono has plenty of clean towels,
water to wosh, and ice water to drink. In
the car we rode a solitary rag of a towel, q
pitcher Of water, and a bottle of drinking
water is all that is furnished for a car load of
passengers. Formerly, in common with the
travelling public, I used to think that the
American sleeping car companies were max
ing too big dividends, and that their scale of
prices ought to be lowered.
But after my experience with European
sleepers, l shall never growl at the charges
made by the American sleepers. Their &C.
commodations ore dirt cheap. We had en-
gagged a compartment in the sleeper for our
selves and paid our 165 francs, and after we
were seatedi the rascally official i'll charge Of
the sleeper jabbered to us In ~unpronounce-
able nasal French, that one Of us must go into
another compartment so as to enable him to
put q married couple to share our compart-
ment. My son brought his French into re-
QUESTION and informed monsieur that we had
paid for our seats, that we had possession,
were anchored as firm as rocks, and that We

flied. l mention this incident to show the
slipshod way they have of running a sleeper

should also designate what reports county

THE INTERSTATE COMMERCE
PROBLEM.

The conference report on the Interstate
Commerce bill was discussed and passed in
the House yesterday. The stress OF the
discussion fell upon section four Of the bill
that relating to long. and short bauls.
This much-discussed section reads as fol-
lows:
SECTION 4. That it shall be unlawful for
any common carrier subject to the provis-
ions OF this act to charge or receive n
greater compensation in the aggregate for
the transportation OF passengers or OF like
kind of property under substantially SINH
lar circumstances and conditions Tor a
shorter thar for a longer distance over the
same line in the same direction, the shorter
being included within the longer distance;
but this shall not be construed as author
izing any common carrier within the terms
| of this act to charge and receive as great
compensation for q shorter as f,r a longer
distance; Provided. however. that upon
| application to the commission appointed
under the provisions OF this act such COM
mon carrier may. in special cases. after in
vestigation by the commission, be author
ICED to charge less for longer than for
shorter distances for the transportation OF
passengers and property; and the commits
sion may from time to time prescribe the
6XUcUC 10 Which, 6OCN OCbI$4AVCu j
carrier may be relieved from the operations
of this section of this act.
This section simply undertakes to lay
down in specific terms a principle which is !
already contained in other provisions of
the bill, namely, that all rates shall be
and just. The section as it
stands simply prohibits a railroad corPor-
alton from charging a greater aggregate
for q shorter than for a longer dis
tance over the same lipe. All seemed to
agree in the understanding that the meas
ure is not q pro rata per ton per mile law.
Of the arguments used by the opponents
the bill, one is that water and other
sometimes make it absolutely
for the railroads to charge more
or intermediate than for through
Also, that the fourth Sec
ion would ruinously depreciate
he value OF wheat and beef producedi in the
Northwestern States and Territories by
ompelling the railroads to adopt a freight

'hich would leave to the farmers and
took raisers OF that section, no reward for
heir labor; That it would drive a large
hare OF the long distance traffic from
to Canadian lines. and that it
'ould cripple il it did not bankrupt, many
by compelling them to relinquish
large part OF either their through or their
,cal traffic. Mr.. Henderson, of Iowa, ap- {
to voice The majority Of the House in
onceding that some injury might be in E
by the long and short haul clause OF !
he bill, but that the commercial interests :
I the Nation should not be regulated sole '

hall prove hurtful or imperative, Con-
.ess can readily make the needed changes.
